Wow, what a crazy week! Costumes for new characters are being chosen, so our new friends will be here in time for the holidays! Nothing is official, yet, but we have a goal number in mind for characters. That number really depends on our pending recruit, though. If she signs on, it means we can do more. If not, and no hard feelings if not, then that limits us. I'd like to do the planned number, but it really isn't worth taking on an actor who is unable to perform to our standards. Essentially, good help is hard to find.
In other news, I've got a 7 part project in the works. I really can't say much about it, but putting up notices about the progress makes me giddy, so I've developed a flower-themed code to do so. I know it's silly, but I just have to find SOME WAY to tell you what's going on! So, phase Rose is almost finished, which means Honeysuckle is up next. I am incredibley pleased with how Rose has turned out. I'm gaining a lot of confidence through this endeavor, and Rose has certainly had a hand in it. I feel really confident about Honeysuckle, too, but stage 5 & 6 (Poppy and Moonflower) feel really daunting. Thank goodness for talented friends, I guess!
This weekend was King's Champion Med. Faire. We had a great time at this little place. There were lots of old friends there to greet us, of course, but we made so many new friends! We even met a little girl with a fairy-like name (Hello, Chrysanthemum!). Several little girls wanted to know what kind of fairies we are, why we can talk and some fairies can't, and who our fairy queen was. There were other fairies there, too! Those fairies hadn't been granted human-speak, though, so our fairies felt very special indeed! Though the fairy pit is new, it looks like something that will grow into a big attraction in the next few years. We did have a small snag, however. The KCMF fairies were certainly pretty and interesting, but we kept having little ones come talk to US instead! I'm sure this was frustrating to the talented fairy-folk out there that day, so we went off to a different part of the faire and had just as many fun interactions there. If we make it out there next year, we'll definitely have other characters out to play. Pixie-productions will never be known for stepping on toes!
And speaking of public appearances: we're one step closer to our big announcement! I know I'd previously said we'd release full information the last week of September, but I've been advised to wait until after it actually begins, so October 5th will be the big break. But if you want to find out sooner--and be a part of this spectacular madness!--then come see us at Haunted Castle in October. Our first night out is October 2nd, and we'll spend a lot of time in Halloween Land.
Alright, that's it. Check back next week for progress and updates! Oh, and make sure to go watch Ask a Fairy, edition 4. Candythorn answers questions outside her little gingerbread home!
Sending glittery wishes your way!
